Come visit me at the festival! I will be in booth R071 (in the red area, between the gazebo and the barn, 2nd row from the gazebo and 2nd from the end). Just look for my tote bags and scrapped creations. Hopefully we will have great weather. This festival is one of the best arts and crafts festivals in the US, it is HUGE and there are lots of faboo vendors.

How did I come up with Pam's Eclectic Stuff?

eclectic --adj.- selecting what seems best of various styles or ideas *Since I like a huge variety of arts and mediums, this seemed perfect, we will talk about the best of various styles or ideas.

stuff- The noun stuff has 7 senses - 1. material, stuff -- (the tangible substance that goes into the makeup of a physical object; "wheat is the stuff they use to make bread")2. whatchamacallit, stuff, whatsis, sundry, sundries -- (miscellaneous unspecified artifacts; "the trunk was full of stuff")3. stuff, clobber -- (informal terms for personal possessions; "did you take all your clobber?")4. stuff, stuff and nonsense, hooey, poppycock -- (senseless talk; "don't give me that stuff")5. stuff -- (unspecified qualities required to do or be something; "the stuff of heros"; "you don't have the stuff to be a United States Marine")6. stuff -- (information in some unspecified form; "it was stuff I had heard before"; "there's good stuff in that book")7. stuff -- (a critically important or characteristic component; "suspense is the very stuff of narrative")

*What more needs to be said? I really thought about using Pam's Eclectic Sundries, but I thought that might be tough to remember. :) Stuff is easy and conveys a variety of meanings. I like the definition- miscellaneous unspecified artifacts. I also liked whatchamacallit, but that is a lot of typing. :)

About Me

Hi there! I love creating things, be it scrapping projects, fabric projects, quilting projects, altered art, jewelrry making, stamping, cards, and crafts of many other venues. I love color and texture. I am an avid quilter, love to design my own patterns, and have sewn home décor as well as children and adult’s clothing and costumes. I have dabbled in many different mediums and crafts over the years. I have sold my work in a variety of retail establishments, as well as directly to the public. I have taught many different classes, and have been fortunate enough to be on several design teams.
I owned a porcelain doll business, as well as a laser steel artwork business. If I can figure out how to make it, I usually do. To me, creating and crafting is the best therapy in the world. I love gardening as well, I am married, volunteer regularly, have 2 adult children, 5 grandchildren, and 3 dogs. My husband and I also like to travel.
